the recent AW vs. AH uproar

[+Lute]

I am a displaced Air Warrior who is now a member of the Aces High community.  Having loved full realism in AW I found AH a logical choice for me.  I have been reading the AH boards for about 6 months, and I have recently gotten quite a laugh at Arlo and the other posters that have caused such an uproar here.  Thought I would share my two cents will all the baby seals that have been getting clubbed here lately.


An announcement! Because of the AH vs AW dispute it has been decided to devote the rest of this space to a page specially written for people who like figures of speech, for the not a few fans of litotes, and those with no small interest in meiosis, for the infinite millions of hyperbole-lovers, for those fond of hypallage, and the epithet's golden transfer, for those who fall willingly into the arms of the metaphor, those who give up the ghost, bury their heads in the sand and ride roughshod over the mixed metaphor, and even those of hyperbaton the friends.  It will be too, for those who reprehend the malapropism; who love the wealth of metonymy; for all friends of rhetoric and syllepsis; and zeugmatists withsmiling eyes and hearts.  It will bring a large absence of unsatisfactory malevolence to periphrastic fans; a wig harm bello to spoonerists; and in nosmall measure a not less than splendid greeting to you circumlocutors.  The World adores prosopopeiasts, and the friendly faces of synechdotists, and can one not make those amorous of anacoluthon understand that if they are not satisfied by this, what is to happen to them?  It will attempt to really welcome all splitters of infinitives, all who are Romeo and Juliet to antonomasia, those who drink up similes like sparkling champagne, who lose nothing compared with comparison heads, self-evident axiomists, all pithy aphorists, apothegemists, maximiles, theorists, epigrammatists and evengnomists. And as for the lovers of aposiopesis -- !  It will wish bienvenu to all classical adherents of euphuism, all meta thesi stic birds, golden paranomasiasts covered in guilt, fallacious paralogists, trophists, anagogists, and anaphorists; to greet, welcome, embrace asyndeton buffs, while the lovers of ellipsis will be well-met and its followers embraced, as will be chronic worshippers of catachresis and supporter of anastrophe the world over.

I took the liberty of putting this lead post into the Dialector and came out with the following:

Hehe ... I just knew Pakin's autogen and the dialectizer wouldn't be a novelty here.  

[hazed-]

I just cant get on with this stuff.

when i read it i have to re-read it to catch certain words! drives me nuts i tell ya!
I once bought a book calle 'the moon is a harsh mistress' by Robert Heinlein and its written just like this.He did it in the 1960's! Needless to say an hour into the book I got a headache.
Anyone read 'trainspotting' the book of the film?(if you havent its not about spotting trains!  ) .Well its written in the same manner to simulate the scottish accent only I couldnt understand 90% of the words on the 1st read and yet I have cousins who have strong scottish accents and i understand them perfectly.Its just frustrating to read and reduces my reading ability to how it was when I first learned to read as a kid!,kills the whole flow of reading and thus the 'cant put it down' bit goes right out the bloody window  
I really hope this stuff doesnt start flooding these boards.HEADACHE TIME!

I took it upon myself to translate this for the FDB's.
